HOPE – The parental involvement initiative of the Hope Public School District took center stage Monday night before the Hope Public Schools Board as the district honored 20 parents across four campuses and one districtwide program for their contributions to student success.
“We want to thank these parents for helping to make their students, and all our students, successful,” Hope Superintendent Bobby Hart noted.
Board President Joe Short echoed Hart’s sentiment, adding that the time which parents contribute to their involvement on each campus is not only valued by the district, but serves to encourage other parents to participate.
Parental Involvement Awards were presented by each campus principal or representative, recognizing the family and the student or students of each parent.
Clinton Primary School Principal Ashlea Stewart recognized eight parents of students from kindergarten through fourth grade from the CPS campus, including:
Kindergarten – Samuel Warren, parent of Anaiah Warren, and Guadalupe Cardona, parent of Joseph Cardona.
First grade – Sandra White, parent of Beamya White.
Second grade – Kenneth White, parent of Kyson White, and Israel Perdes, parent of Rosita Paredes.
